No, Trump did not say the virus was a hoax, that was fake news.

He actually was misquoted or taken out of context... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-coronavirus-rally-re... His exact words: > Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count…
Shouldn’t we opt for action assuming the worst even though we may deem it an overreaction in the future? Then if it is bad we’ll have done what we could.

What's going on with this comment? Why did someone else post the exact same thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=ChibaCity_ ( https://imgur.com/a/XgSpxie )
I live 1 mile from Evergreen Hospital and 3 miles from the Life Care facility, and I'm immunocompromised. Most of my B lymphocytes and a bunch of my T helper cells are gone. In the past couple of days 7 immunocompromised people within walking distance of me were killed by this thing. I don't think I'm in hysteria, but I sure as hell am not leaving my house until I can be convinced that it's under control in my area.…
I looked for a news story about this. They don't seem to all be immunocompromised people? Maybe you have different information. https://www.kirklandreporter.com/news/coronavirus-death-toll...
For me, the critical pieces of info everyone should consider are these: 1) Washing hands often, significantly reduces chances of getting infected (because virus has a fat membrane that breaks when in contact with soap) 2) If you are under 60 yrs old, covid-19 infection becoming fatal is extremely low, which in turn means, keep older population away from anyone carrying this virus, hence self-quarantine around elders…
> 4) The virus doesn't last long on dry surfaces, hot weather (bumped up the heat in house by a few degrees, yet comfortable enough). What's your source for this? What temperature is required to see this effect? How sure are you that your house is hot enough?

You’re one of the few folks on HN talking about this who actually has something to worry about...but ironically, you’re not spreading misinformation or panic, like so many other people. I hope this doesn’t end up being as bad for sick people as it seems it might. That said, I think your comment about “failing an open-book test” is a bit unfair. Yes, the governmental response around the world has been bungled, and no,…
Sounds like the whole country after the 2016 election... ba dum tss
